"We labour soon, we labour late,
To feed the titled knave, man;
And a' the comfort we're to get,
Is that ayont the grave, man."

'The Tree of Liberty' (1838)

~Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796)

Happy #BurnsNight.

I took this photo, of the Robert Burns statue in Leith, some years ago.

I still love the contemporary feel that the additional guerrilla knitted leg warmers give this monument.

Not sure if he approved of them though.

The Russian Il-76, which crashed near Belgorod, was flying from the border with Ukraine, not towards it , - OSINT analysts

🔺 Judging by the photo and video, the board flew in the opposite direction and began to descend sharply.

🔺 The direction to the north is confirmed by the video, which was taken from the center of the village of Yabluneve.

🔺 On the first shots from the accident site, there are no visible signs of scattered bodies.

Here is a seal looking at you for #MeerMittwoch

This is a common sea, which I met near Blakeney, in Norfolk. It's a great place to go for a boat trip and do some seal watching. The grey seals pup in the winter and the common seals in the summer, so there are seals to be seen practically all year round.

They always remind me of dogs, with their ears folded back. I think it's the mournful eyes, long snout, and whiskers that do it.

I'm old enough to recall Milliband announcing 10 new nuclear power plants by 2020 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/23/hinkley-point-c-could-be-delayed-to-2031-and-cost-up-to-35bn-says-edf

White Nationalist group Patriot Front was confused by the turnstiles at NYC's World Trade Center PATH station.
It reminded me of this classic turnstile scene with Slim Pickens.
